Chapter 71 The strength of that man is nothing more than that (8K ask for a monthly pass)(1/2)

The search continues.

A yellow cordon has been put up on the ruins of the shopping mall. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Higashinohara and the others to enter the ruins to confirm the victims' information.

So the three of them could only continue searching in the surrounding pedestrian streets with the idea that the worst was not yet true. At the same time, they kept in touch with the families of the missing persons to obtain the latest progress.

Night came unknowingly.

The high-rise buildings surrounding this pedestrian street in Shibuya are strung with bright lights, hanging like curtains in the night on both sides of the street.

"It seems I can't find it tonight."

Aragaki Satoru sighed, shook his head and said, "It's no wonder that not many colleagues are willing to accept this kind of commission. There are too many places for people to move in this society."

He sighed like this, deliberately avoiding the possibility that the two girls might have been in the mall when the terrorist incident occurred, and were now lying in the ashes of a dead ruin.

Not only Higashinohara knows this.

Even Charlie knows it.

After hearing Aragaki Satoru's words, both of them remained silent.

Aragaki Satoru was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said with a smile, "Hahaha, don't make a sad face, just smile. If you think about the bright side of everything, life will have less worries and more fun."

After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, the afternoon's work is over here. Now I'm off work. I will contact the families of the missing people tomorrow. Maybe the little girl suddenly missed home after being away from home for a few days.

He just ran back secretly."

Higashinohara nodded. Although he felt a little depressed at the moment, he had no other choice and followed Aragaki Satoru and Charlie to the parking lot of the pedestrian street.

However, he didn't go far. When he passed by the ruins of the shopping mall again, Higashinohara stopped and looked blankly across the road to the ruins of the shopping mall.

Aragaki Satoru and Xia Li, who were walking in front, noticed and turned their heads at the same time. Xia Li scratched her short silver ears and urged, "Hurry up Higashino! The intersection ahead is about to turn red."

Aragaki Satoru followed Higashinohara's gaze and saw only two weirdly dressed people standing on the opposite side of the road. However, it was not surprising that Shibuya was the most fashionable area in Tokyo. He asked with some confusion,

"Has Higashinohara seen the missing girl?"

Before coming, he showed the two of them face to face in the car.

Higashinohara came to his senses after hearing this, smiled and shook his head, "No, I just remembered that I found a part-time job at a convenience store here before leaving. You guys go back first."

"Wow! Dongye, are you going to work?"

When Charlie heard this, she felt envious. She came up and asked, "Dongye, can you help me find a part-time job when you have time? What kind of job do you think I am suitable for?"

Higashinohara glanced at the two fluffy ears on Charlie's head and said, "Hmm... Cat Cafe, if you have time to go for an interview, you should have a good chance."

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't poach people in front of me!" Aragaki Satoru was dissatisfied.

Only then did Charlie realize that her boss was right next to her, and she quickly patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, boss! You have been so kind to me, and I will never betray you."

"This is the right thing. Work hard and you will be the elder of the firm from now on." Aragaki Satoru promised without blinking and gave him a blank check.

In fact, at first he was a little resistant to the 'Catwoman' recruited by Mai Aragaki for him, but after getting along with him for a while, he found that there was someone he could control in the office, which made it much more convenient in all aspects.

Even when he goes to put up small advertisements on the street, the one he posted in front of him is torn off or covered by others, and the one behind him is "seamlessly connected" when he puts it up here.

Charlie was very happy after hearing this, and her eyes narrowed with laughter.

The word "senior" sounded very valuable, so she asked excitedly, "Boss...can I become a full-time employee this month? How much is my monthly salary?"

"Ahem... Hahaha, don't be so anxious... You have also seen the situation in our office... That..."

Speaking of this, Aragaki Satoru suddenly turned his head and waved to Higashinohara, "Higashino, we are going back first. You can take the train home later. Charlie-chan, hurry up! The red light is about to come!"

Higashinohara also smiled and waved his hand.

When Aragaki Satoru and Xia Li disappeared at the intersection, the smile on his face gradually faded away, and he looked across the ruins of the shopping mall again, but his consciousness sank into the sin manual in his mind.

Pirates of the Western Sea?

Why did it appear on the streets of New Tokyo?

Higashinohara looked at the name and the opponent's ability in the crime manual, and couldn't help but think of the news he saw in the afternoon. The news seemed to mention that the criminals in the shopping mall terror incident might come from abroad.

Two guys across the street,

Could it be related to the explosion in the afternoon?

Higashino moved his gaze downwards and looked at the cross-section of the opponent's character.

...

"Boss Murphy left us here while they went to Kabukicho to enjoy themselves...tsk, tsk, tsk."

Across the road, a woman in a light blue coat put out a woman's cigarette, threw it into the green belt on the roadside, and smiled charmingly at a passing office worker.

The latter's heart suddenly trembled, and he quickly lowered his head to avoid looking at her. This woman is so beautiful.

When the companion next to him heard the complaint, he couldn't help but said with a smile, "Don't think so much. There will be plenty of time for us to relax after this mission is over. Boss Murphy has never treated us badly."

"That's true..."

The woman in the light blue coat nodded, "But we've been waiting here all afternoon, and we haven't seen anyone except the people from the Metropolitan Police Department. I guess that 'Captain Dragonfly' isn't coming either. How about that?"

Want to have some fun?"

"Hey...don't cause trouble."

"What's causing trouble? Let's put on the masks. The whole thing was done by 'Captain Dragonfly'... What does it have to do with us? Isn't this the mission now?"

"Eh? That's true. Well, what do you think of the two people opposite?"

"Does it look like a high school couple who have just finished school and are shopping... Wow, what a warm and leisurely youth. I heard that people in love are willing to give up their lives for each other. Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it, what about you?"

"I don't believe it either, but I want to try."

...

On the opposite side of the road, at the entrance of an alley behind a tall building, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared. The girl walking in front seemed a little angry, and the boy behind him caught up and took her hand.

"Go this way, the alley behind is a shortcut."

"It's all my fault that you came to this mall for a date to watch a movie. Now it's better. After taking the tram for a long time, the trip was still in vain."

"Okay, okay! It's all my fault, come in quickly."

"Hey...what are you doing."

"Kiss! Just kiss!"

"Hate! Don't be here, wait! You can't do it there..."

Two young lovers were making out in a dark alley.

"Cough cough cough!"

At this time, a dry cough appeared in the alley without warning.

The boy paused for a moment and turned around in surprise. The girl quickly arranged her clothes and raised her hand to wipe her face. She was a little angry and found that a piece of her makeup had been chewed off.

She was about to question the boy when she noticed the two figures in front of her, and she was suddenly startled.

The two people who jumped in front of me had their backs to the street lights behind them. They wore dark golden dragonfly masks on their faces and walked in casually and naturally, without any consciousness of disturbing others.

...

"who are you?"

The boy asked a little unhappily.

The man among the two smiled and said, "Sorry for disturbing you... Since you asked the question sincerely, I will tell you straight away - let's play a game. Only one of you two will survive tonight."

One comes down, and the decision is in your hands."

A game where you can only live one?

The young couple was stunned for a moment. The girl seemed a little scared. Although the boy didn't want to lose face in front of his girlfriend, he was pulled back by the girl behind him. In addition, the masks on the faces of the two people in front of him...

He suddenly felt a little timid.

"are you crazy..."

The boy cursed softly, pulled the girl and turned around to leave.
